CONTACT INFORMATION

Arye Rosen of AMT, Inc., in the U.S., along with neonatologist Harel Rosen will develop and test a prototype, low-cost portable blanket phototherapy system to provide light therapy for the treatment of jaundiced infants at risk for acute bilirubin encephalophathy. This blanket will be powered by a battery charged via a photovoltaic panel, offering a low-cost therapy for newborns in resource-poor areas, including those where grid electricity is unavailable.
